Labor Day

Summer traditionally draws to a close on Labor Day in Central NY. The kids go back to school on Wednesday, so this weekend is it. Here at the marina, I think folks suddenly realized that this was our last hurrah, and everyone came to the lake. I have not seem so many folks here all summer!

We had a great weekend with fireworks displays, the Harborfest in the park next door on Saturday providing food and entertainment, a trip to the State Fair on Sunday, and today we went out with our friend Brad and Ellen in their houseboat. It was actually hot today, so we were able to go swimming off their boat. It was such a beautiful way to spend the day, and we were all quite surprised that the lake water was still warm enough to bear. Global warming does have an upside! We then boated down to our favorite restaurant, The Boatyard Grill, for a late lunch.

The nights are getting cooler, the trees are beginning to turn, and the days are definitely shorter, but we'll hold out here as long as we can before giving up and moving back home!
